Welcome to our "2nd Trimester" Sixth Grade Science wiki!

Big Idea:

* Demonstrate and apply your knowledge of motion and forces.

Concepts:

• Force and motion
• Simple Machines

Learning Goals:

• Demonstrate the concepts of gravitational force and how they relate to motion.
• Demonstrate the relationship between the strength of a force and its effect on an object
• Identify Newton's Laws of Motion and demonstrate how they affect their daily life.
• Demonstrate a basic understanding of simple machines and how they relate to work.

Success Criteria for the Learning Goals:

• I can create a display and demonstration to teach 4th grade students about forces and motion.

Formative Assessment (FA) Strategies:

• KWL chart
• Power Point over Newton's Laws
• Bumperstickers covering Newton's Laws
• Group presentations over topics
